So Mike headed to the Wenatchee area the day after Christmas. My feeling is if he manages to get clean there it is great. And if he doesn't and he just gets high there...it is great also because it isn't in my face. I have no control over his actions. I wish him well and luck.
Turns out when Dave got his disability his 72T thing went away so he is taking more money out of the IRA than he was before. Said that is why he felt like helping me with my car (which I could regret) since he is a little flush right now. His disability started in Oct so I'm not sure why Chad was trying to talk Judd into talking me into not taking my share of the IRA while Dave wasn't 59.5. Feels like more of the Dawn is just stupid stuff so we can do what we want. Glad I took the money.
Mom decided she needed to cook Christmas Day Dinner at her house. Said she wasn't ready to relinquish her responsibility to do it. She hasn't cooked it in 25 years. Anyway we rolled with it. Dave came to my house first and put the beds together. That made my brother mad because he thought we were starting at Mom's early. And then we get there and she doesn't do anything. I haven't cooked in her kitchen and I don't do gas. Mostly it turned out fine but the ham was a bit dried out. So now she says we aren't having spiral hams anymore....after ten years of spiral hams. Obviously I had a little bit of a stressful time this year and usually I don't. We survived it.
And then Audrie is now doing the I want Papa thing every time she gets in trouble. Joy. Ah well.....this too shall pass.
And on to the new year and all that it will bring. New responsibilities, the littles gain a new sibling and I'm going to keep reinventing myself.
